Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders caused by damage to certain areas of the brain, which affect movement and posture. The condition is usually diagnosed at a young age through a series of tests involving thorough medical background checks of both mother and child, assessment of a child’s reflexes and motor skills, and CT scans and MRIs. During the diagnostic process, a doctor is determining whether or not the child has unusual muscle tone, slow developmental skills, abnormal posture, and other early symptoms of cerebral palsy.

If your child has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, chances are that no doctor or healthcare professional told you that a medical mistake could have been the cause. This is because doctors and other medical workers adhere to a code of silence to protect one another from liability claims in instances of negligence or wrongdoing. Sadly, this silence only harms victims and their families.
Cerebral palsy is a permanent condition, which often requires lifelong medical treatment. The financial costs associated with a lifetime of treatment are burdensome for most families. A doctor’s silence could mean the difference between a lifetime of financial struggle or financial freedom.
